Amend Floor Amendment No. 1 (floor substitute) by
Representative Branch to CSSB 175, in SECTION 1 of the bill, as
follows:
(1) Strike added Section 51.803(a-1), Education Code (page
2, line 5, through page 3, line 17), and substitute the following:
(a-1) Beginning with admissions for the 2011-2012 academic
year, The University of Texas at Austin is not required to offer
admission to applicants who qualify for automatic admission under
Subsection (a) in excess of the number required to fill 75 percent
of the university's enrollment capacity designated for first-time
resident undergraduate students in an academic year. If the number
of applicants who qualify for automatic admission to The University
of Texas at Austin under Subsection (a) for an academic year exceeds
75 percent of the university's enrollment capacity designated for
first-time resident undergraduate students for that academic year,
the university may elect to offer admission to those applicants as
provided by this subsection and not as otherwise required by
Subsection (a). If the university elects to offer admission under
this subsection, the university shall offer admission to those
applicants by percentile rank according to high school graduating
class standing based on grade point average, beginning with the top
percentile rank, until the applicants qualified under Subsection
(a) have been offered admission in the number estimated in good
faith by the university as sufficient to fill 75 percent of the
university's enrollment capacity designated for first-time
resident undergraduate students, except that the university must
offer admission to all applicants with the same percentile rank.
After the applicants qualified for automatic admission under
Subsection (a) have been offered admission under this subsection in
the number estimated in good faith as sufficient to fill 75 percent
of the designated enrollment capacity described by this subsection,
the university shall consider any remaining applicants qualified
for automatic admission under Subsection (a) in the same manner as
other applicants for admission as first-time undergraduate
students in accordance with Section 51.805.
(2) In added Section 51.803(a-2), Education Code (page 3,
line 22), strike "60" and substitute "75".
